Summary: Thomas and Friends Teach Valuable Lessons
Review: My son has been watching Thomas videos for about a year, and this one is one of the best. He particularly likes Thomas because of his cheerful manner. In this video, he was introduced to Harold the helicopter, who he also loves.These videos show how the engines deal with specific problems that they face. I feel that overall the problems are solved in an acceptable manner for children. Sir Topham Hatt serves as a kind of parental figure for the engines and he points out any problems the engines might be having, but he also is quick to praise them for a job well-done. George Carlin does an excellent job narrating the video, and there are six episodes on the tape. The length (36 minutes) is perfect for my son. He can usually watch the whole video in a single sitting, whereas he will lose interest in a longer movie. Although there is some disagreement and arguing amongst the engines, this is still an appropriaate tape for young children. I think people will enjoy this and all Thomas & Friends videos as my son and I do.

Summary: Thomas and His Friends Get Along!!
Review: Thomas and Friends has a wonderful video for children to learn how to cooperate and work together. It contains the stories: Old Iron, James in a Mess, Duck Takes Charge, Down the Mine, The Runaway, Better Late Than Never, Tenders and Turntables, Percy Proves a Point, Trust Thomas, and Percy and the Signal. My favorite stories are Percy and the Signal, Duck Takes Charge, and Percy Proves a Point. The video sports George Carlin's excellent narrations. I really enjoy this video and I hope your children will too. I strongly recommend this video.

Summary: Role models for NOT getting along!
Review: We got this out of the library a few weeks ago and I was appalled to see what counts as "getting along:" - The big engines get miffed at everyone else and decide to go on strike (end of story).
- An engine is insulted by the helicopter; they have a race, the engine wins, and his engineer makes up a nasty little song to celebrate.
I do not tolerate this kind of behavior in my kids, and I will not tolerate it in a video - my kids have enough negative role models. Look to George and Martha tapes for better role models in "getting along."

Summary: a must buy
Review: We have been watching Thomas videos from the library for some time now and wanted to make a purchase. I found that Thomas & His Friends Get Along is the ONLY DVD narrated entirely by George Carlin. All the other Thomas DVD's are Alec Baldwin (he's just plain annoying and lifeless). I know we're not the only ones who think so based on the many other reviews. We don't mind Ringo or George's narration but there are no Ringo DVD's available. All the older titles on DVD have been re-dubbed with Alec Baldwin's voice over.(DEAL BREAKER) I know the narrator is never mentioned on Amazon so, for those of you who are interested...I hope this helped.
